I’d agree with those saying Moss will be RB1, with Singletary as RB2 weapon.   
 

Moss is a fantastic receiver out of the backfield, and after getting trucked by Moss, defenders are going to have fun trying to tackle Singletary when he comes in with his LeSean McCoy-ability to make guys miss in a phone booth.  


Think the Lynch, Jackson times

Just finished watching his tape.

 

Number one...he's definitely faster than his forty. Numerous plays where he broke away and couldn't be caught. He has the ability to take it to the house. 

 

Second...he is unphased by arm tackles. He literally runs through them without even having an impact on him.

 

Fantastic addition, and he will definitely challenge Singletary for more snaps. Should be a great battle that makes a great two headed monster!

The Bills two picks are another in an endless series of draft rounds where strict BPA is never ever true. It just so happens that the BPA in both rounds just happened to be our two clear biggest needs? It's never BPA, unless the BPA just happens to be a main position of need AND you hadn't already picked at that position AND already looked down draft at more players who may be available at position of need.


I am okay with a BPA approach, where BPA is slightly adjusted or weighted against need.

 

The problem is when teams (we have done this many, many times in the past) reach significantly for need. Oftentimes too that is super short sighted because you will probably have a different need next year. That’s when you become a perennial 7-9 team.

AJ Dillion  was taken at 62 ,  I was hoping he would fall to 84. Still happy with Moss just don't like the numerous injuries citing


I say this seriously— but you wonder that with our now elite strength and training program, that’s going to help. Plus, just limiting-sharing carries and some basic coaching can probably help limit injuries. 
 

Also, looking at his injuries, the only one that seems really not fluke is his AC joint sprain, from probably pounding into people. He had turf toe 3 years ago and a Slight meniscus tear getting out of bed— seem a bit flukey.

Eh, he was injured enough that it only limited him to being Utah’s all-time leader in everything.  Every RB gets dinged up.  They get hammered every play. He was obviously really productive anyway

McD and Beane now have their Deangelo Williams and J stewart.

 

I said in 1 of the draft prediction threads that I thought Moss would turn out to be the best rb in the draft and now I really hope that is true!  He was exactly the person I was hoping for when they were on the clock!

 

Loving the value so far in this draft!

With the way this line run blocks or is it just Singletary's vision that finds a hole when they really is none.  But if this line is that good at run blocking I would love it if the Bills found there Barry Foster type that just pounds you inside.  With Moss they might have found one.

Singletary has elite vision and contact balance

A lot of the video feeds from the Players houses were delayed. Some of the feeds didn't show reactions for nearly 2 minutes after the pick was announced. Its not like they have a crew there sending a live feed with $200, 000 worth of studio gear. 

But the players know they’ve been drafted. They have the teams hat on. I know if I got drafted by any team but patriots my family and I would be going crazy as soon as we got the call. Wouldn’t be sitting there like damn everyone be quiet and reserved with depressed faces until it’s announced.

So all you virtual body language experts. Are you voice experts. He sure sounds excited.

Who cares?  There were 15 WR's taken, 6 of which came in the first round.  Another 9 in rounds 2-3.  

 

RB's are a devalued asset in the modern NFL.  And it shows year after year when perhaps 1-2 are taken in the first round.  

 

Having 2 capable RBs is essential. We now have that. Look at all the RBs taken previous to the Moss selection.

 

Each will play a significant role on their team - Including Moss.

Reminds me of Thurman in that respect.

 

Moss is a shifty down hill runner and in good contrast to the Barry Sanders like moves of Singletary.

 

Another nasty wrinkle added for the opposition when facing Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.

 

Awwww man, pls let there be Football this season.

 

MERCY!!!

Why in the world is everyone forgetting about Knox??? :huh:

 

I really like the kid too and expect improvement moving forward. If he manages to catch everything thrown at him, he could be really special, imo.

 

That said, he won't be recognized until he proves otherwise.

The Bills are as good at drafting RBs as the Steelers are at wideouts.

 

Excellent pick!  Singletary or Moss can start on a given week and the team won't miss a beat.  

 

This team is ready.

 

Agree. 

 

I would add opposition and circumstance will dictate who gets the touches. We now have 2 capable backs that defenses need to  account for. Our offense, with these new weapons,  will become more diverse and difficult to defend, imo.

I think we have a great young combo of RBs.  The best thing of all is this shouldn't be like the days of old where teams stack 8 in the box knowing we have the intentions on running.  We should have a formidable passing game to complement this running attack.  If this happens to be the case, these backs will explode on defense's that must remain honest.

 

These types of picks complement the entire offense as a whole.  I have zero doubt Moss will have a big impact.  McBeane know what they want and how they want to use it.

I think they'll rotate depending on the situation.  Moss is the short, tough yardage situation guy.

 

We're gonna like Moss in the 4th quarter of games when he gets those tree trunks rolling downhill against a gassed defense.

Pull up all of the highlights from last year of RB's breaking 50 yard or longer TDs.  

 

Pull up all of the highlights of RBs breaking 20-40 yard TDs. There will be more of these runs.   Singletary or Moss can score from 40 or in like most backs.  

 

Stefon Diggs is your "homerun hitter".  So is Smoke.  All the Bills need is for Josh to hit the deep ball when the receiver is open and the Bills will score a lot more points.  We also need WRs/TEs to catch it when he puts it on them.

 

 

 

I couldn't agree more. :thumbsup:

 

Exactly my sentiments. Good post.

Singletary isn’t outrunning anyone.... don’t know enough about Moss to say the same. 

 

Good thing they're playing football and not running a race then, huh?

 

We now have 2 very good RBs that will contribute mightily to this offense. With the addition of Diggs and what's already here, this offense can dictate.

 

And yes, I expect JA to step up and become "that guy". I'm very optimistic with what's now in place.

Doesn't seem overly excited. But I appreciate the shout out to the fans. 

 
I think he is just a very chill person. Similar reaction when they showed him being selected. As long as his feet do the talking, I’ll be happy.
